Overview
- New York State Department of Labor records list 660 terminations tied to Amazon offices in Manhattan, with cuts spread across nine addresses.
- The largest site-level reductions were 233 roles at 450 W. 33rd St. and 182 at 424 Fifth Ave., according to the filings.
- Amazon says the New York reductions are part of a wider restructuring that eliminated roughly 14,000 corporate roles announced in late October.
- A company statement says the layoffs affect corporate employees only, excluding warehouse and delivery workers in the city.
- Amazon says affected staff receive a 90-day notification period, a healthcare lump sum, severance, skills training, and job-placement support, while Reuters and the New York Times report the overall program could expand and continue after the holidays.
